"Army caught us at the peak of our game. The team was clicking better today than at any time this season. . . . The blocking was superb, particularly the work of the secondaries. The outstanding play in my opinion was the long pass from Banas to Devore for the second touchdown. Murphy called that play on fourth down. . . . We figured that we could stop Vidal and we did. ...
